One thing I disliked about those early scripts was the fact that the team called Ben by his codename. As if he suddenly was less than human and not even their friend anymore. He is mutation is tragic and instead of making him feel like one of the team and still human, they call him thing. In the first issue, he says "I ain't Ben anymore. I'm what Susan called me. The thing." He doesn't mean to be called the thing every waking minute! God knows I would be pissed as hell if my friends and family called me a derogatory codename I chose out of self-pity.
